HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player a set of counters and place them at the starting point on the board.

2

On your turn, roll the dice and move your counters forward according to the combined number shown.

3

Certain dice combinations allow bonus moves, extra rolls, or let a player send an opponent's counter backward.

4

Land your counters on marked spaces to gain shortcuts or avoid penalty spaces that set you back.

5

Players often banter, boast, or slap the board dramatically after a good roll as part of the tradition.

6

The first player to move all their counters around the board and off the final space wins.
